If the funny-bone is a nerve, then yeah, you touched it all right.
From the website which listed the names. I think it unreliable.

"Citing passages from the Hadith, the collected sayings of Mohammed, ... by his own account, the founder of Islam was often possessed by Satan. The phrase "Satanic Verses" refers to words that Mohammed first claimed had come from God, but which he later concluded were spoken by Satan. Mohammed married 11 women, kept two others as concubines and recommended wife-beating (but only as a last resort!). His third wife was 6 years old when he married her and 9 when he consummated the marriage. To say that Mohammed was a demon-possessed pedophile is not an attack. It's a fact." (quoted from Murder for Fun and Prophet)
It'll be easy now that any literate person has gotten over you. Thanks for the gratuitous insult in response to a reasonable and fair question. Who raised you?
I just can't believe we are the only ones who have it right. I think God works in ways that our logical minds cannot even begin to fathom.
"The road to Hell is broad and wide, the road to Heaven
is long and narrow and few there will be who will find it."
Ganesh got that elephant head after his father Shiva cut his old head off in a fit of pique.
But, I certainly understand your thought processes. That great theologian, Oprah Winfrey, says the same: "All paths lead to God." However, such syncretism is a lie from the pit of hell, and it smells like smoke.
Holy Moley
I didn't realize you were going to post the entire term's syllabus in one post!!
Bookmarked and bumped for a read when I have a few hours
:)
My dad lost his father when he was 2 and his mother when he was 5. He and his sister were raised in an orphanage in a communist country, yet he is an atheist while his sister is a devout Christian.
You mean apart from him being a parastic brain worm?
Hmmm, Isaac Asimov, tight-knit Jewish family, later atheist (from the rationalist side, not the "I know [insert deity here] doesn't exist" side).
You have stated that as fact, yet haven't proven it either.
Heretic!
And?
Agree..theists, especially Christians, should recognize and atone for their own transgressions against others and society in general before they dump on those who happen to disagree with them.
At my last count most criminals of all stripes and variety in the USA were theists.
Maybe most residents of the USA need a new morality??
Yes...I am poking fun at you theists and trying to get you to think...rationally... about the things you say about non-theists....and behave a little bit better when dealing with them.
I used to think that too, pa mom. Then I learned more about science.
All religions but Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are based on scientfically de-based cosmology--the idea of a cyclical universe.
Islam is totally ridiculous in its foudings--Mohammed, an illiterate, tells his wife to transcribe the writings of Gabriel and then READS OVER her writings to verify their accuracy (correct me if I'm wrong here). Islam also denies JEWISH historian Josephus' corroboration that Jesus Christ died on the cross and that His disciples "reported" that he had "risen again" (Flavius Josephus).
That Christ rose from the dead is the only plausible theory to explain the behavior of the early Christians. The Gospels are historically valid documents--more so than any other historical document even centuries after the Gospels were written (evidenced by manuscripts found after 1975 confirming lack of modification to the Catholic-preserved New Testament).
Please, consider these few of many reasons I chose Christ as the Lord--even though He is the hardest Master to follow, by far.
